Buyer Checklist
⚠ Clone warning: Z/28 matching numbers critical — enormous value difference. L78 matching numbers add 30-50% premium. Non-matching big block reduces value 35-50%.. Always verify with cowl tag, engine stamp, and registry before purchase.
Decode cowl tag (trim tag on firewall) — confirms paint, trim, options
Check engine suffix stamp for numbers-matching
Z/28 — verify DZ302 engine, correct carburetion (two 4-barrels), front/rear spoilers
RS package — confirm hidden headlights function and all RS badging present
Inspect front frame rails for rust and collision damage
Check floor pans front and rear for rust
Inspect rear frame rails and trunk floor
Verify Muncie 4-speed tag matches transmission type ordered
Convertible — inspect frame for rust and structural integrity
Confirm Protect-O-Plate matches VIN
Known Problem Areas
